Review of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963) by Adrian B — 06 Jun 2012

One of Vittorio de Sica's strangest films, this one stars two of the most famous Italians of all time: Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni. The movie is set in three places, with the two stars playing three different roles.

In the first setting, both characters are involved in a black market to sell cigarettes, of which Loren gets arrest for her wrongdoings and is sent to jail, causing uproar as a result. The second setting involves the couple as wealthy individuals of society, who really don't seem to care for one another or anybody else for that matter.

The third follows Mastroianni having an affair with a prostitute (of course, Loren). Amusing, odd Italian movie from the master maybe just minor one for him, but is fun to watch, especially considering the stars.
